But, it's been "little things", and I'm appreciative of being reminded that those little things matter.<br />As many have said in these comments, even those of us that are part of your blogging community, do indeed get so many of these things from you, and that's why we keep coming back.

I wasn't really raised that way. My parents are awesome and I love them but they taught me to avoid confrontation. To demur rather than speak my mind and potentially upset the apple cart, so to speak. It's not always an easy change to make but seeing others, like you, do it helps me find my courage to do the same. What I hope people get from me is that I genuinely care about them. That I believe in individual journeys, dreams and goals. That I will stand by and up for you.

Because the world is made up of a lot of different people and we're not all going to like each other. I thought about this prompt a lot but could never figure out how to articulate my feelings. I think it all boils down to I hope people see my kindness and that I am always trying to do the right thing.
